Blog Home HOME IMPROVEMENT 101: HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT PAINT FINISH Home Improvement>Moving November 30, 2021 When it comes to making improvements in your home, paint can open up a world of possibilities. It can breathe new life into a beloved piece of antique furniture (or a quirky thrift store find), give your kitchen cabinets the appearance of an expensive remodel, add a pop of color to an accent wall, and change the look of your home’s exterior. And all that’s on top of its basic function — covering and protecting all walls, ceilings, and pieces of trim in your home. There’s more to shopping for paint, however, than just color considerations. The finish you choose will directly affect how your paint color covers the walls, absorbs light, and stands the test of time. Read on for a primer (get it?) on five popular paint finishes and where it’s best to use each. FOR CEILINGS, TRY: FLAT/MATTE Flat and matte finishes have no shine, meaning more of the pigment is visible once the paint is applied to your surface. These finishes work well to cover up imperfections like rough spots or scratches, easily creating a flawless look. Beware of using these finishes in high-traffic areas, however, as they’re the hardest to clean. FOR KITCHENS & BATHROOMS, TRY: SEMI-GLOSS Semi-gloss finishes help make it easy to maintain your paint job in high-traffic areas that require regular cleaning, like a kitchen or bathroom. Like the name implies, this finish is on the shinier side, but other finishes offer more sheen. When working with a semi-gloss finish, it’s important to prep your surfaces well, as the sheen can act like a highlighter for any imperfections. FOR LIVING & BEDROOMS, TRY: EGGSHELL An eggshell finish is an excellent middle ground between flat and glossy options. It’s got more sheen than a flat or matte finish, making it more durable, but it’s not as high-shine as semi-gloss, so it won’t show bumps or other flaws in your surface as easily. Eggshell finishes offer an almost velvety look, making them ideal for beautiful bedrooms and inspired living spaces. FOR HALLWAY & KIDS’ SPACES, TRY: SATIN The satin finish is eggshell’s glossier cousin, reflecting slightly more light and offering more stain resistance and ease of maintenance in the process. It looks great even in spaces like hallways or kids’ rooms, where there tends to be more wear and tear. Like with eggshell and semi-gloss finishes though, you’ll want to make sure you take time to clean and prep your surfaces before application. FOR FURNITURE, TRIM & ACCENTS, TRY: HIGH GLOSS High gloss is the most durable, yet least forgiving of the popular paint finishes. This elegant finish isn’t for larger surfaces (unless you’re really looking to make a statement) and works best for accents. If applied well — this might be a job for a professional painter — the sheen in this finish creates a showstopping look that highlights everything it touches.
